MDM Observatory 2.4m Telescope Observer's Report for 2008 Mar 26

Observer(s): K. Schlesinger
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.7 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Weather was a bit cloudier than usual...Just some cirrus clouds 
so didn't really affect my observations too much. 
Had problems with the dome at the beginning of the night; even 
though the azimuth position it thought it was at was correct, 
it was not lined up with the direction the telescope was pointing. 
Went through and reset everything, the azimuth, the pointing, the 
tcs controls, prospero etc. and after that things went fine.
